The Art of Writing
What happens when two of the most compelling voices in contemporary literature come together? Katie Kitamura and Christian Kracht, who are both thoroughly familiar with each other’s work, discuss the art of writing as well as colonialism and fascism—themes that are often subtly present in their works, both on and beneath the surface.
